(A) Whenever any police officer finds an abandoned motor vehicle or junk motor vehicle on public property, he or she shall place written notice on the vehicle that it will be removed at the owner's expense, or a fine of $25 will be issued for each continuous 24 hours period.
(B) After the expiration of the 24 hour period, the vehicle may be removed by the removal agency to a garage or place of safety. Nothing in this chapter precludes the Police Department from immediately removing a motor vehicle which causes an obstruction or hazard to traffic.
